Sam Darnold’s Vikings future up in the air despite career resurrection
NY Post
There is no security blanket for Sam Darnold — at least not yet.
In the wake of a successful first season in Minnesota, in which he has the Vikings at 10-2 entering Week 14, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Darnold and team brass have not “had any discussions regarding a long-term contract.”
Darnold, 27, joined the Vikings on a one-year, $10 million contract in the offseason following the departure of Kirk Cousins in free agency.
He is slated to become a free agent in 2025.
Before heading to Minnesota, Darnold — the Jets’ third overall pick in 2018 — served as Brock Purdy’s backup in San Francisco last year. He also spent time in Carolina following a trade by the Jets in 2021.
Darnold was named the Vikings’ starting quarterback after rookie J.J. McCarthy underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee in August.
The Giants lost another game and that is no longer news, although the specifics and particulars of this latest loss are specifically and particularly galling, as far as sameness and also innovativeness.
